Why did Pablo Picasso paint "Guernica"?
- Pablo Picasso painted one of his most celebrated and politically powerful pieces "Guernica" in response to the Nazi bombing of the Basque town of Guernica in April 1937. Aiding insurgents in the Spanish Civil War, German planes bombed and destroyed the town, indiscriminately killing women and children.
Where is the Guernica now?
- After years of negotiations, MoMA restored Guernica to Spain in 1981, where it was housed in the Casón del Buen Retiro , an annex of the Prado Museum in Madrid. In 1992 the painting was moved several blocks to the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía (called the Reina Sofía), Spain's newly established national museum dedicated to 20th-century art.
